SUNDAY, July 26

Peruse the Riverside Flea Market at The Loading Dock’s Boat Works anytime from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. but try to make Strange Music’s Ces Cru LIVE at 7 p.m., featuring Glen Carbon native TrentonP, at Pop’s Concert Venue in Sauget, Ill., and there’s always plenty of security, so don’t be afraid of the place that’s open 24-7.
